Still harvested and used today carrageen moss works as a natural thickener and is used in a variety of traditional soups, stews and puddings. Medicinally, the moss is used to treat respiratory ailments and reasearch has shown that an extract made of the moss has anti-viral properties. Image provided by: ©M.D. Guiry
